The Ogryn are a sub-species of humanity in Warhammer 40.000

Bio[edit | edit source]

Ogryns are remote descendants of the regular humans that evolved on various high-gravity worlds - many of which were former prison colonies. Owing to the particularities of their home planets, Ogryns are significantly taller, stronger, and sturdier than the regular Homo Sapiens, with even smaller specimen towering around 8'2 (or around 250cm). As a downside, their massive increase in muscle was accompanied by a massive decrease in brain matter, meaning Ogryn generally are at the intellectual level of an older child and are considered smart if they can successfully count to four.

The Imperium of Man likely would have exterminated any Ogryn populations it found, were it not for the fact that the raw stupidity of these hulking juggernauts meant it was comically easy to indoctrinate them into the Imperial faith, and subsequently deploy them as shock troopers for the Astra Militarum. In battle, Ogryns are informed about the rough direction of the enemy forces and will cheerfully empty the magazines of their automatic Ripper shotguns before abusing the latter as makeshift clubs to turn the foe into a fine red mush. Ogryns are so incredibly dense that, during the Horus Heresy, those of them that joined the forces of Chaos did not do so because they actually were corrupted by the ruinous powers, but because they were told the traitors were on the side of the Emperor.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

An Ogryn fought during 8chanmania XCIII, where it was handily dispatched by Sarah Kerrigan.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • In case this isn't obvious, Ogryns are the equivalents of Warhammer Fantasy's Ogres in space, much like the Squats were dwarves in space. Why they survived while the squats were effectively removed from the game until their major retcon in 2022 is everyone's best guess.
